Ok, here we go again. Saga of neighbouring house. Nobody lives there. There are builders renovating it and they dumped a lot of crap in front garden. It contained skirting, floorboards and various stuff such as plastic bits and rubble. They started bonfire yesterday in front garden. I was out but husband said it started when he was leaving around 8am. It was finished when I came home at 2pm but I was blown away by smell when I opened my door to front porch. Fumes must have been trapped there. When I was leaving at 7.30am this morning, fire was going again and my and son had to go through stink. I rang the environmental dep't at the council but the guy who answered the phone said he's pass it on but there is no time limit on fires and they really have to see them in the act of putting stuff on. Also fumes must be black or toxic.
Problem is it is a heap of rubble stuff burning now. And how am I going to ascertain if the fumes are toxic. Can you burn anything in your front garden.
Builders said to my husband 'this is a building site'. We live next door. Is there anything I can do?
